What stops Trump from making up his own rules and running to SCOTUS to get their blessing?

It may be a crazy thought given all that we've experienced with shutdowns and threats in the past.

I keep hearing Trump is a convicted felon, that he tried to engineer an insurrection, that he defrauded for $464 mil in damages, that he allegedly did some RICO violations in GA elections, that he grossly mishandled/misappropriated classified documents, etc.
But nothing seems to stick.

What is different here that would give us confidence?
